[Numpy-discussion] record arrays with char*?

I'm trying to wrap some C code using cython. The C code can take inputs in two modes: dense inputs and sparse inputs. For dense inputs the array indexing is naive. I have wrappers for that. In the sparse case the matrix entries are typically indexed via names. So, for example, the library
